Secondary Capture
Independent of the Single, Multiple and Secondary Capture, dual and quad screen images are sent
as secondary captures to a PACS. Measurements on these types of images are in pixels.
Note about "bitmap": Bitmap does not refer to a file in ".bmp" format. The terms "image", "frame", and
"bitmap" are interchangeable in a way. For multi-frame images it makes sense to say frame. On the
other hand, DICOM is all about images; the image portion of the file (as opposed to the header) is
really nothing more than a bitmap or screen capture.

The resulting file contains DICOM data and a bitmap of the image. Use
DICOM format to store to DICOM Print devices or to Image Storage
services that do not support raw data. Raw DICOM can still be used in
these cases, but it is best to uncheck the Allow Raw Data box on the
service. This flexibility is why the system defaults to RawDicom (Single)
for P1.
The resulting file includes the Raw Data, the DICOM data and a bitmap of
the image. Use RawDicom format to store locally to the . This allows for
numerous post-processing, non-acquisition actions and for the replay of
cine loops without the overhead of storing multiple DICOM frames. (Loops
are included in the raw data.) RawDicom can also be used to send to a
PACS, such as Centricity and ViewPoint, which supports various degrees
of raw data functionality.
Use this to generate a Structured Report for the measurements and
calculations of the exam currently open.
See: 3-9-4-8 "Structured Reporting" on page 3-66
information.
Stores a single DICOM frame (bitmap of the image). Note that a raw-data
loop is still available if used with RawDicom. This format captures the
video area. It allows measurements without calibration.
Stores multiple DICOM frames (one bitmap for each frame). Select this to
either store multiple DICOM frames locally on the or to export cine loops
to import elsewhere.
This option requires more disk space and takes longer to store images
after the print button is pressed. This format captures the image area only.
It allows measurements without calibration.
Stores a screen capture of a selected area. Select this and another drop-
down menu lets you select Image Area, Video Area, or Whole Screen for
the capture area. A Secondary Capture contains no calibration data, just
pixel data. Thus it requires manual calibration for measurements, if you
recall the image on the or review it on the PACS. Measurements without
calibration use pixels as the unit.
